We need leaders on the  pitch and Jedi is one, I would consider playing Weelan instead of Hurricane to help screen in front of Mitrovic.

Leave the team as it is. If things aren't going our way, we have options off the bench.

Jedinak was excellent against the Wolves at home. They're a much better side than Fulham. He had experience of Play Off finals, he has the quality and should start.

Agree. The Jed is a big game player and has to start.

He most certainly is. I remember last year he single-handedly won the World Cup qualifier for Australia scoring a hattrick against Honduras to send them to the finals. I'd forgotten he'd started against Wolves. In the form he's in at the moment it would be very harsh to drop him now.

No way can he drop the Jeddi. He got us here !!!! But it is great we have some good options off the bench. And if Bruce decides to go for a pressing game we will need all of them to continue the energy levels. Using the tactics we used against Middlesbrough is a massive gamble. They are a much better attacking team ....

They're a good side and obviously a little stronger than us (as the league table and them beating us suggests) - but we took a while to find our strongest team and we've got experienced players who will be up for it.

I'm far from an expert on Fulham but they folded under the pressure v Blues and away at Derby, their best player is 17 and their second best has a history of getting wound up easily. Also, Bruce knows Cairney well so you'd hope he'd know how to stop him.

Grealish and JT have done it at Wembley before.

I fancy us to be honest. Our biggest problem is going to be goals as we're not scoring many. Ipswich is the only game in the past couple of months where we've scored more than 1 and we're missing changes regularly. If Adomah and Grabban can be a bit more clinical then I think we'll do it.

Their full backs push right up so we need to hit the space in behind.

And get someone pressing McDonald as their play starts off with him frequently.

Take a leaf out of Brentford's book and close them down right from the back.  They like to play it out from the back.  Keep Jedinak in the side as they don't seem to be the biggest of sides and we might have some advantage at set pieces.  They play good football but if we go in with the mentality that we did against Wolves rather than against Middlesbrough, we can win.  They have plenty of pace so I am not sure that sitting deep and relying on the breakaways is the best plan.  Fuck it, just be better than them on the day!

I’m guessing like a flailing armed drunk in a fight.
